APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Mr. Heath Slaughter, Division Environmental Officer
NCDOT Division 11
P.O. Box 250
North Wilkesboro, NC 28659
Dear Mr. Slaughter:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 110
linear feet (miscellaneous rip-rap impacts of 30 linear feet) of unnamed tributaries to Grassy Creek in
order to improve SR 1349 (Burkett Road) in Watauga County. The project should be constructed in
accordance with your application dated 3 May 2001. After reviewing your application, we have decided
that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification No. 3289, corresponding to the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Number 14. In addition, you should acquire any other federal,
state or local permits before you proceed with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and
Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will expire
with the accompanying 404 permit unless otherwise specified in the Water Quality Certification.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified
below). Should your project change, you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application. If the
property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is
thereby responsible for complying with all the conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in
the future) exceed one acre, or of total impacts to streams (now or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet,
compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this
approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional
conditions listed below.
1. In-stream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the
trout spawning season of October 15 through April 15, or as otherwise determined by the North
Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, to protect the egg and fry stages of trout from
sedimentation during construction.
2. . Storm water should be directed to buffer areas or retention basins and should not be routed directly
into streams.
3. The culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream
profile is not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel should not be reduced by a widening of the
streambed). Existing stream dimensions are to be maintained above and below locations of culvert
extensions.
4. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions.
5. The presence of equipment in the channels must be minimized.
6. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so that they may be utilized for storm
water sheet flow.

7. Use of rip-rap for bank stabilization is to be minimized; rather, native vegetation is to be planted
when practical. If necessary, rip-rap should be limited to the stream bank below the high water mark,
and vegetation should be used for stabilization above high water.
8. Rock silt screens at culvert outlets should be removed at project completion.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing.
You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written
petition which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of
Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its
conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919.733.1786.

Watauga County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Lund:
0'1071"
The NC Department of Transportation is scheduled to grade, drain, base, and pave primarily
along the existing roadway of SR 1349 (Burkett Road) in Watauga County. This project will
require replacing ten (10) wet cross lines as shown below:
1) Replace existing 30'x 18" CMP at station 3+55 with a 40'x 18" CMP.
2) Replace existing 30'x 18" CMP at station 27+75 with a 40'x 18" CMP.
3) Replace existing 30'x 18" CMP at station 36+25 with a 40'x 18" CMP.
4) Replace existing 30'x 18" CMP at station 49+00 with a 40'x 18" CMP.
5) Replace existing 80'x 24" CMP at station 51+75 with an 80'x 24" CMP.
6) Replace existing 30'x 18" CMP at station 56+00 with a 40'x 18" CMP.
7) Replace existing 30'x 18" CMP at station 59+00 with a 40'x 18" CMP.
8) Replace existing 80'x 24" CMP at station 61+75 with an 80'x 24" CMP.
9) Replace existing 40'x 18" CMP at station 65+00 with a 50'x 18" CMP.
10) Replace existing 30'x 24" CMP at station 84+75 with a 40'x 36" CMP.
Miscellaneous rip-rap impacts will total 30 linear feet. New stream impacts = 110 linear feet.
Please note the all wet pipes carry different unnamed tributaries to Grassy Creek (Class C +).
This project will also impact a small scrub-shrub wetland from station 2+75 - 3+56. The existing
wetland is 0.031 acres in. size however, only approximately 0.02 acres of this wetland fall within
DOT right-of-way. Our anticipated impacts to this area due to fill and ditching will total 0.012
acres. Please note that there is another wetland area on the west side of Burkett Road near
station 2+00. We will be avoiding this area.

Since this is an existing roadway, the minor modifications proposed in this application should not
remove or degrade existing water quality uses. By utilizing the erosion control measures outlined
in the attachments to this application, downstream water quality standards will be protected. Any
widening of the existing roadway will be directed away from any adjacent creek whenever
possible with minimum fill placed in the buffer area. Pipe sizes used will be the minimum
necessary to create a safe roadway. An endangered species survey was conducted and none were
found. The total project length is approximately 1.6 miles. Due to the proposed work, we are
requesting a 404 Nationwide Permit 914.
Attached is a Preconstruction Notification Form, plan sheet with proposed erosion control
measures, wetland data sheets, a wetland rating worksheet, a soil survey map a marked county
map, a marked topography map and photographs.
By copy of this letter, it is requested that Mr. Ron Linville, Mountain Region Coordinator, with
the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission comment directly to you concerning the 404
Nationwide Permit application with a copy sent to me.
By copy of this letter, I am forwarding seven (7) copies of this application package to Cynthia
Van Der Wiele, NCDENR, Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetland Unit, for her review. A
$200.00 check is enclosed for the 401 certification processing fee. It is requested that any
comments related to the 401 certification be forwarded directly to the Corps with a copy sent to
me.
We would like to begin construction as soon as possible. If further information is required, please
let me know. Your early review and consideration will be greatly appreciated.

This form is to be used for projects qualifying for any of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE)
Nationwide, Regional or General Permits as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, and for the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's
(DWQ) associated General 401 Water Quality Certifications. This form is also to be used for any
project requiring approval under any Riparian Buffer Rules implemented by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality. This form should not be used if you are requesting an Individual 404 Permit or Individual 401
Water Quality Certification. The USACE Individual Permit application form is available online at
http://,,"v,,v.saw.usace.army.mii/wetlands/Periii apu htm.
The USACE is the lead regulatory agency. To review the requirements for the use of Nationwide,
Regional or General permits, and to determine which permit applies to your project, please go to the
USACE website at littp://w«Nv.saNv.usace.army.mil/wetlands/reLtour.litm, or contact one of the field
offices listed at the end of this application. The website also lists the responsible project manager for
each county in North Carolina and provides additional information regarding the identification and
regulation of wetlands and waters of the U.S.
The DWQ issues a corresponding Certification (General or Individual), and cannot tell the applicant
which 401 Certification will apply until the 404 Permit type has been determined by the USACE.
Applicants are encouraged to visit DWQ's 401/Wetlands Unit website at
h??://li2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands to read about current requirements for the 401 Water Quality
Certification Program and to determine whether or not Riparian Buffer Rules are applicable. The
applicant is also advised to read the full text of the General Certification (GC) matching the specific 404
Permit requested. In some cases, writtewapproval for some General Certifications is not required,
provided that the applicant adheres to all conditions of the GC. Applicants lacking access to the internet
should contact DWQ's Central Office in Raleigh at [phone].
Trout Waters Coordination - Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) is also required for projects occurring in any of North Carolina's twenty-five
counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC
regional coordinator (listed by county on the last page of this application).
n_ __ 1 ..O l'1
CAMA Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's twenty coastal counties (listed on
the last page of this application) the applicant should also contact the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (DCM) at [phone]. DCM will determine whether or not the project involves a
designated Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency.
In such cases, DCM will require a Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Permit and will coordinate
the 404/401 Permits.
USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms,
photos, etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office (addresses are listed at the end of this
application). Upon receipt of an application, the USACE will determine if the application is complete as
soon as possible, not to exceed 30 days. This PCN form is designed for the convenience of the applicant
to address information needs for all USACE Nationwide, Regional or General permits, as well as
information required for State authorizations, certifications, and coordination. Fully providing the
information requested on this form will result in a complete application for any of the USACE
Nationwide, Regional or General permits. To review the minimum amount of information that must be
provided for a complete PCN for each USACE Nationwide permit, see Condition 13, 65 Fed. Reg.
12893 (March 9, 2000), available at h://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/nwpfinalFe(iReg.pdf.
Processing times vary by permit and begin once the application has been determined to be complete.
Please contact the appropriate regulatory field office for specific answers to permit processing periods.
401 Water Quality Certification or Buffer Rules - All information is required unless otherwise stated
as optional. Incomplete applications will be returned. Submit seven collated copies of all USACE
Permit materials to the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401
Certification, then a non-refundable application fee is required. In brief, if project impacts include less
than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to
streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is
required. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of
the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more
information, see the DWQ website at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/fees.html. The fee must be
attached with the application unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be
issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check
so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules,
the application fee does not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only
Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to
issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Upon receipt of a complete application
for a 401 Certification, the Division of Water Quality has 60 days to prepare a written response to the
applicant. This may include a 401 Certification, an on-hold letter pending receipt of additional
requested information, or denial.

were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
There are wetlands on either side on the existini roadway between stations 3+00 and 4+00.
Since the existing roadway must be widened to achieve an acceptable section width for safety
reasons we chose to widen the road to the east instead of to the east a little and to the west a
little. By doing this, we were able to avoid impacting the wetland on the west side of SR 1349
pipes must also be upgraded to an acceptable maintenance
near station # 3+50. The existing
condition. By utilizing the erosion control measures as shown in the attached drawings, adverse
impacts to streams and wetlands in the area will be minimized. Since this is an existing road, the
stream impacts cannot be avoided. However, the replacement pipe lengths will be the minimum
needed to construct the widened roadway.

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
littp://li2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands/str?ngide.litml.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed. .

GENERAL NOTES ON EROSION CONTROL
Silt Basin Type B's will be constructed to t,l-.-- dimension at
six feet by three feet by three feet unless otherwise noted
on the plans.
Where slope protection treatment _s required, Section 868 and
Section 1042 at the 1990 Standard Specifications for Roads
and Structures will be followed. Any material obtained from
the project must be clean before being placed.
t
Generally, the order of installation of the erosion control
measures will be as follows:
Temnararv Silt Basins shall be installed before
clearing and grubbing begins.
Silt - en`ces and Temnorar,,- Silt Ditches shall- be
installed aster clearing and before grading.
Tempor=7 Stone Ditch Checks shall be installed as
soon as ditchline is established.
,Pi-e Outlet and Inlet ?rotection will be Bane as
soon as the pipe is installed.
Seeding and other permanent erosion control
measures are -to be implemented as soon as

Subject: Nationwide Permit #14
SR 1349 (Burkett Road)
Watauga County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Lund:
The NC Department of Transportation is scheduled to grade, drain, base, and pave primarily
along the existing roadway of SR 1349 (Burkett Road) in Watauga County. This project will
require replacing ten (10) wet cross lines as shown below:
1) Replace existing 30'x 18" CMP at station 3+55 with a 40'x 18" CMP.
2) Replace existing 30'x 18" CMP at station 27+75 with a 40'x 18" CMP.
3) Replace existing 30'x 18" CMP at station 36+25 with a 40'x 18" CMP.
4) Replace existing 30'x 18" CMP at station 49+00 with a 40'x 18" CMP.
5) Replace existing 80'x 24" CMP at station 51+75 with an 80'x 24" CMP.
6) Replace existing 30'x 18" CMP at station 56+00 with a 40'x 18" CMP.
7) Replace existing 30'x 18" CMP at station 59+00 with a 40'x 18" CMP.
8) Replace existing 80'x 24" CMP at station 61+75 with an 80'x 24" CMP.
9) Replace existing 40'x 18" CMP at station 65+00 with a 50'x 18" CMP.
10) Replace existing 30'x 24" CMP at station 84+75 with a 40'x 36" CMP.
Miscellaneous rip-rap impacts will total 30 linear feet. New stream impacts = 110 linear feet.
Please note the all wet pipes carry different unnamed tributaries to Grassy Creek (Class C +).
This project will also impact a small scrub-shrub wetland from station 2+75 - 3+56. The existing
wetland is 0.031 acres in size however, only approximately 0.02 acres of this wetland fall within
DOT right-of-way. Our anticipated impacts to this area due to fill and ditching will total 0.012
acres. Please note that there is another wetland area on the west side of Burkett Road near
station 2+00. We will be avoiding this area.

Since this is an existing roadway, the minor modifications proposed in this application should not
remove or degrade existing water quality uses. By utilizing the erosion control measures outlined
in the attachments to this application, downstream water quality standards will be protected. Any
widening of the existing roadway will be directed away from any adjacent creek whenever
possible with minimum fill placed in the buffer area. Pipe sizes used will be the minimum
necessary to create a safe roadway. An endangered species survey was conducted and none were
found. The total project length is approximately 1.6 miles. Due to the proposed work, we are
requesting a 404 Nationwide Permit #14.
Attached is a Preconstruction Notification Form, plan sheet with proposed erosion control
measures, wetland data sheets, a wetland rating worksheet, a soil survey map a marked county
map, a marked topography map and photographs.
By copy of this letter, it is requested that Mr. Ron Linville, Mountain Region Coordinator, with
the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission comment directly to you concerning the 404
Nationwide Permit application with a copy sent to me.
By copy of this letter, I am forwarding seven (7) copies of this application package to Cynthia
Van Der Wiele, NCDENR, Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetland Unit, for her review. A
$200.00 check is enclosed for the 401 certification processing fee. It is requested that any
comments related to the 401 certification be forwarded directly to the Corps with a copy sent to
me.
We would like to begin construction as soon as possible. If further information is required, please
let me know. Your early review and consideration will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Heath Slaughter

Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Application Form
For Section 404 and/or Section 10 Nationwide, Regional and General Permits, Section 401
General Water Quality Certifications, and Riparian Buffer and Watershed Buffer Rules
This form is to be used for projects qualifying for any of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE)
Nationwide, Regional or General Permits as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, and for the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's
(DWQ) associated General 401 Water Quality Certifications. This form is also to be used for any
project requiring approval under any Riparian Buffer Rules implemented by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality. This form should not be used if you are requesting an Individual 404 Permit or Individual 401
Water Quality Certification. The USACE Individual Permit application form is available online at
http://www.saw.tisace.army.niiI/wetiands/Perni app.htm.
The USACE is the lead regulatory agency. To review the requirements for the use of Nationwide,
Regional or General permits, and to determine which permit applies to your project, please go to the
USACE website at littp://w«,Nv.saNv.usace.army.niiI/wetlands/regt otil-.litm, or contact one of the field
offices listed at the end of this application. The website also lists the responsible project manager for
each county in North Carolina and provides additional information regarding the identification and
regulation of wetlands and waters of the U.S.
The DWQ issues a corresponding Certification (General or Individual), and cannot tell the applicant
which 401 Certification will apply until the 404 Permit type has been determined by the USACE.
Applicants are encouraged to visit DWQ's 401/Wetlands Unit website at
htth://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/ncwetlands to read about current requirements for the 401 Water Quality
Certification Program and to determine whether or not Riparian Buffer Rules are applicable. The
applicant is also advised to read the full text of the General Certification (GC) matching the specific 404
Permit requested. In some cases, written'approval for some General Certifications is not required,
provided that the applicant adheres to all conditions of the GC. Applicants lacking access to the internet
should contact DWQ's Central Office in Raleigh at [phone].
Trout Waters Coordination - Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) is also required for projects occurring in any of North Carolina's twenty-five
counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC
regional coordinator (listed by county on the last page of this application).
n-_- 1 -C 71
CAMA Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's twenty coastal counties (listed on
the last page of this application) the applicant should also contact the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (DCM) at [phone]. DCM will determine whether or not the project involves a
designated Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency.
In such cases, DCM will require a Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Permit and will coordinate
the 404/401 Permits.
USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms,
photos, etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office (addresses are listed at the end of this
application). Upon receipt of an application, the USACE will determine if the application is complete as
soon as possible, not to exceed 30 days. This PCN form is designed for the convenience of the applicant
to address information needs for all USACE Nationwide, Regional or General permits, as well as
information required for State authorizations, certifications, and coordination. Fully providing the
information requested on this form will result in a complete application for any of the USACE
Nationwide, Regional or General permits. To review the minimum amount of information that must be
provided for a complete PCN for each USACE Nationwide permit, see Condition 13, 65 Fed. Reg.
12893 (March 9, 2000), available at http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/nwplinalFedRee pdf.
Processing times vary by permit and begin once the application has been determined to be complete.
Please contact the appropriate regulatory field office for specific answers to permit processing periods.
401 Water Quality Certification or Buffer Rules - All information is required unless otherwise stated
as optional. Incomplete applications will be returned. Submit seven collated copies of all USACE
Permit materials to the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401
Certification, then a non-refundable application fee is required. In brief, if project impacts include less
than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to
streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is
required. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of
the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more
information, see the DWQ website at http://li2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/fees.litnil. The fee must be
attached with the application unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be
issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check
so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules,
the application fee does not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only
Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to
issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Upon receipt of a complete application
for a 401 Certification, the Division of Water Quality has 60 days to prepare a written response to the
applicant. This may include a 401 Certification, an on-hold letter pending receipt of additional
requested information, or denial.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
There are wetlands on either side on the existing roadway between stations 3+00 and 4+00.
Since the existing roadway must be widened to achieve an acceptable section width for safety
reasons, we chose to widen the road to the east instead of to the east a little and to the west a
little. By doing this, we were able to avoid impacting the wetland on the west side of SR 1349
near station # 3+50. The existing pipes must also be uP,raded to an acceptable maintenance
condition. By utilizing the erosion control measures as shown in the attached drawings, adverse
impacts to streams and wetlands in the area will be minimized. Since this is an existing road, the
stream impacts cannot be avoided. However, the replacement pipe lengths will be the minimum_
needed to construct the widened roadway.
T...... 7 .. C 1 1
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://112o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetIands/strmgide.litni1.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.

2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at hup://1i2o.cnr.stite.nc.ushx-rp/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A

coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No ?
Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (DWQ Only)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
Yes ? No ® If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )?
n..__n..rIn
Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers.

XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).

Subject: Nationwide Permit # 14
SR 1349 (Burkett Road)
Watauga County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Lund:
Q 0 s 1
The NC Department of Transportation is scheduled to grade, drain, base, and pave primarily
along the existing roadway of SR 1349 (Burkett Road) in Watauga County. This project will
require replacing ten (10) wet cross lines as shown below:
1) Replace existing 30'x 18" CMP at station 3+55 with a 40'x 18" CMP.
2) Replace existing 30'x 18" CMP at station 27+75 with a 40'x 18" CMP.
3) Replace existing 30'x 18" CMP at station 36+25 with a 40'x 18" CMP.
4) Replace existing 30'x 18" CMP at station 49+00 with a 40'x 18" CMP.
5) Replace existing 80'x 24" CMP at station 51+75 with an 80'x 24" CMP.
6) Replace existing 30'x 18" CMP at station 56+00 with a 40'x 18" CMP.
7) Replace existing 30'x 18" CMP at station 59+00 with a 40'x 18" CMP.
8) Replace existing 80'x 24" CMP at station 61+75 with an 80'x 24" CMP.
9) Replace existing 40'x 18" CMP at station 65+00 with a 50'x 18" CMP.
10) Replace existing 30'x 24" CMP at station 84+75 with a 40'x 36" CMP.
Miscellaneous rip-rap impacts will total 30 linear feet. New stream impacts = 110 linear feet.
Please note the all wet pipes carry different unnamed tributaries to Grassy Creek (Class C +).
This project will also impact a small scrub-shrub wetland from station 2+75 - 3+56. The existing
wetland is 0.031 acres in size however, only approximately 0.02 acres of this wetland fall within
DOT right-of-way. Our anticipated impacts to this area due to fill and ditching will total 0.012
acres. Please note that there is another wetland area on the west side of Burkett Road near
station 2+00. We will be avoiding this area.

Since this is an existing roadway, the minor modifications proposed in this application should not
remove or degrade existing water quality uses. By utilizing the erosion control measures outlined
in the attachments to this application, downstream water quality standards will be protected. Any
widening of the existing roadway will be directed away from any adjacent creek whenever
possible with minimum fill placed in the buffer area. Pipe sizes used will be the minimum
necessary to create a safe roadway. An endangered species survey was conducted and none were
found. The total project length is approximately 1.6 miles. Due to the proposed work, we are
requesting a 404 Nationwide Permit #14.
Attached is a Preconstruction Notification Form, plan sheet with proposed erosion control
measures, wetland data sheets, a wetland rating worksheet, a soil survey map a marked county
map, a marked topography map and photographs.
By copy of this letter, it is requested that Mr. Ron Linville, Mountain Region Coordinator, with
the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission comment directly to you concerning the 404
Nationwide Permit application with a copy sent to me.
By copy of this letter, I am forwarding seven (7) copies of this application package to Cynthia
Van Der Wiele, NCDENR, Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetland Unit, for her review. A
$200.00 check is enclosed for the 401 certification processing fee. It is requested that any
comments related to the 401 certification be forwarded directly to the Corps with a copy sent to
me.
We would like to begin construction as soon as possible. If further information is required, please
let me know. Your early review and consideration will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Heath Slaughter
Division Environmental Officer

> 1 l?1 .J

Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Application Form
For Section 404 and/or Section 10 Nationwide, Regional and General Permits, Section 401
General Water Quality Certifications, and Riparian Buffer and Watershed Buffer Rules
This form is to be used for projects qualifying for any of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE)
Nationwide, Regional or General Permits as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, and for the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's
(DWQ) associated General 401 Water Quality Certifications. This form is also to be used for any
project requiring approval under any Riparian Buffer Rules implemented by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality. This form should not be used if you are requesting an Individual 404 Permit or Individual 401
Water Quality Certification. The USACE Individual Permit application form is available online at
http://www.saw.usace,army.niiI/wetlands/Perm app.htm.
The USACE is the lead regulatory agency. To review the requirements for the use of Nationwide,
Regional or General permits, and to determine which permit applies to your project, please go to the
USACE website at littp://wwNv.saxv.usace.army.mil/wetlands/regtour.litm, or contact one of the field
offices listed at the end of this application. The website also lists the responsible project manager for
each county in North Carolina and provides additional information regarding the identification and
regulation of wetlands and waters of the U.S.
The DWQ issues a corresponding Certification (General or Individual), and cannot tell the applicant
which 401 Certification will apply until the 404 Permit type has been determined by the USACE.
Applicants are encouraged to visit DWQ's 401/Wetlands Unit website at
htth://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands to read about current requirements for the 401 Water Quality
Certification Program and to determine whether or not Riparian Buffer Rules are applicable. The
applicant is also advised to read the full text of the General Certification (GC) matching the specific 404
Permit requested. In some cases, written' approval for some General Certifications is not required,
provided that the applicant adheres to all conditions of the GC. Applicants lacking access to the internet
should contact DWQ's Central Office in Raleigh at [phone].
Trout Waters Coordination - Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) is also required for projects occurring in any of North Carolina's twenty-five
counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC
regional coordinator (listed by county on the last page of this application).
n....- 1 -r 1 It

CAMA Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's twenty coastal counties (listed on
the last page of this application) the applicant should also contact the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (DCM) at [phone]. DCM will determine whether or not the project involves a
designated Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency.
In such cases, DCM will require a Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Permit and will coordinate
the 404/401 Permits.
USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms,
photos, etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office (addresses are listed at the end of this
application). Upon receipt of an application, the USACE will determine if the application is complete as
soon as possible, not to exceed 30 days. This PCN form is designed for the convenience of the applicant
to address information needs for all USACE Nationwide, Regional or General permits, as well as
information required for State authorizations, certifications, and coordination. Fully providing the
information requested on this form will result in a complete application for any of the USACE
Nationwide, Regional or General permits. To review the minimum amount of information that must be
provided for a complete PCN for each USACE Nationwide permit, see Condition 13, 65 Fed. Reg.
12893 (March 9, 2000), available at http:H%vxvxv.saxv.usace.,irniy.iniI/wetlands/iiwpfiiialFectReg..pddf.
Processing times vary by permit and begin once the application has been determined to be complete.
Please contact the appropriate regulatory field office for specific answers to permit processing periods.
401 Water Quality Certification or Buffer Rules - All information is required unless otherwise stated
as optional. Incomplete applications will be returned. Submit seven collated copies of all USACE
Permit materials to the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401
Certification, then a non-refundable application fee is required. In brief, if project impacts include less
than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to
streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is
required. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of
the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more
information, see the DWQ website at htt://l12o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlailds/fees.htnil. The fee must be
attached with the application unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be
issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check
so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules,
the application fee does not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only
Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to
issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Upon receipt of a complete application
for a 401 Certification, the Division of Water Quality has 60 days to prepare a written response to the
applicant. This may include a 401 Certification, an on-hold letter pending receipt of additional
requested information, or denial.

4. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
There are wetlands on either side on the existint; roadway between stations 3+00 and 4+00.
Since the existing roadway must be widened to achieve an acceptable section width for safety
reasons, we chose to widen the roan to the east instead of to the east a little and to the west a
little. By doing this, we were able to avoid impacting the wetland on the west side of SR 1349
near station # 3+50. The existing `pipes must also be upgraded to an acceptable maintenance
condition. By utilizing the erosion control measures as shown in the attached drawings, adverse _
impacts to streams and wetlands in the area will be minimized. Since this is an existin.Q road, the
stream impacts cannot be avoided. However, the replacement pipe lengths will be the minimum
needed to construct the widened roadway.

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Drag Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
littp:Hli2o.etir.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.litml.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.

2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at 11(t1)://l12o.cnr.state.tic.tish%-rp/iildex.litm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
